Beta'd byfredbassett .

Abby didn’t need to look at the lavish apartment they had been given. Yes it had all the amenities they needed and it was decorated to a reasonable degree—which meant they could improve on it—but none of that mattered.

Not even the stunning view from the balcony gave her any excitement or joy.

After spending a whole year in the Cretaceous, the only thing that caught their attention was the bed. Abby felt Connor’s hand squeeze hers and she saw the gleam in his eyes as he too looked in longing at it.

“I have never seen anything so beautiful and inviting in my life!” he breathed softly into the tangled locks of her blonde hair and turned Abby into him, wrapping his arms around her. “Apart from you, of course.”

“I thought I would never see one again,” Abby murmured against his chest and squeezed him in response.

They stood there for a moment, eyeing the bed, mattress and pillows with longing and then they took some slow steps over to it and sunk down onto the soft foam mattress. Connor groaned in delight.

Abby couldn’t help but release a pleasured moan of her own as the foam beneath her buttocks cushioned her and moved along with her, so soft, so soothing. Those harsh nights sleeping in the trees of the Cretaceous hadn’t done her any good. There were still pains in her joints and in her back from having slept on uneven ground and in gnarled branches, but now a few nights sleeping in a proper bed might make things better.

Connor’s hand squeezed hers again and his knee nudged against her leg eagerly. He kissed at her cheek and took the kiss gently down her neck before resting his head on her shoulder.

“What?” She knew he wanted to ask her something.

“I was just thinking…..” He kissed again and again at her neck, causing delighted trembles to shake her body. A nip of his teeth just below her ear made her tense when those trembles turned into a warm and pleasurable flush and she squeezed her legs together.

“I know what you’re thinking.”

“So? Can we?”

“If you insist.”

“Sweet! It’s been a while since we’ve done it, but…”

“Connor?”

“Yes, Abby?”

“Come on. Enough talk… just get on with it.”

Connor kissed her fully on the lips and then jumped up to rip off his shirt.

----------------------------------

She couldn’t keep a straight face.

Abby really couldn’t, but it did feel good.

She lay on her back and the whole bed shook and bounced with intense vigour. It wasn’t long before all the control she had failed and Abby started laughing.

“Oh god! This is so wonderful!”

However, it didn’t last long.

Connor never was careful when it came to this. He cried out suddenly and there was a large crash. Abby bolted up from the bed and looked down to the floor where Connor was now nursing his injured shoulder.

She sighed.

Every time he jumped on the bed, he fell off. Without fail. He got far too excited.

“We should have had sex first, shouldn’t we?” he moaned as Abby slipped off the bed and helped him to sit up. She nodded and kissed his forehead.
